Two months jAgo he passed three $20 Confederate bills on as many groceries out in the Mission, in return for which he re- ived $3 worth of merchandise and $57 1in good American money. He was at- | tempting to pass a fourth piece of dis- credited currency when he was ar- rested. At his hearing before Judge Conlan | he was sentenced to six months in the | County Jail on each charge, making a total of eighteen months’ imprisonment | altogether. He did not relish the idea of his Napoleonic career in finance be- ing dnterrupted by such a pause, so he appealed his cases to the Superior { Court and was set at liberty on bail. | “Yesterday Kelley appeared before Judge Conlan again, charged with hav- |ing resumed his operation with $20 | Confederate notes. He bought some sausages from a factory omn Vallejo street and two bogtles uf olive oil from | an Italian firm on Sansome street. To| | each vendor he tendered a crisp bill | | bearing a promise signed by Jefferson { Davis to pay the bearer $20 in gold on | ! presentation at the treasury in Rich- mond. He received $46 50 in money | that does not have to be put through the tedious process of hunting up Jef- son Davis to give it a commercial | value. | Kelley was sentenced to twelve months more in the County Jail, mak- ing two and a half years he will have | 1to serve. According to Clerk Jack { Rice, who is the official statistician of Judge Conlan’s court, if Kelley can keep on appealing bis cases to the Su- perior Court and secure securities and | his stock of Confederate bills holds out he will have an unserved term of 48,212 vears hanging over him by the time he becomes a millionaire. Costodio has a saloon at 325 Drumm street. One of his most en- thusiastic admirers was Joseph Rose, who, although a new acquaintance, was fervent and unstinted in prafse of Cus- todio’s natural abilities. As the latter | cannot read or write, his natural abili- ties and the booze he keeps on tap are his particular prides. Rose told Custodio that he would trust him with his life. To demonstrate | the sincerity of the statement he gave | Custodio a $100 bill to keep for him. | The following day he wanted $40 to send | | to his mother in Opiak, Aleutian Isl- | | ands, and the saloon-keeper gladly let | him -have the money. Thereafter Rose | | drew the sum of $5 and $10 occasionally | | against his deposit until the amount | | appréximated the bill o deposit. Last Tuesday the saloon-keeper was | called upgn to pay for a consignment of imported sausages and not having any small change he tendered the $100 | bill to the ‘collector. The latter looked at it a moment and passed it back. ’.\'ut for your Uncle Dudley,” he said. | “Do I lcok like a Yolo County man?” After some investigation Custodio | learned that his friend Rose had handed him a $100 bill that is used in the book- | keeping courses of commercial colleges He waited until Rose came in to draw | | the last $2 50, and then had him ar- | | rested. | Judge Cabaniss heard the story yes- | terday and consigned the defendant t01 six months in the County Jail on the | charge of misdemeanor embezzlement. | Custodio is not taking any paper money these days. M. J. James McDermott appeared before Judge Fritz yesterday on the charge of begging. “I was trying to get to Baden,” explained the defendant. “I'm | | broke, but if I could get there I would be all right, because I can get work right away.” “This court has no way of furnishing | you transportation to Baden,” said the Judge, “but I'll do the best I can for you. I'll send you out to Ingleside with a stopove privilege, and from there | vou can continue to your destination. Twenty days in the County Jail.” John Prvor protested too much ,(hrough his attorney yesterday before Judge Mogan, and as a result it was ’dlsct)\ored that he was a young but | interesting criminal. He was charged with ertermg a room at 18 Ellis street. “This boy is only 17 years old, your Honor,” said the attorney, “and he is | willing to plead guilty to petty larceny or some misdemeanor. It would be a | notice. | morning, shame to spoil his bright young life | by sending him to the penitentiary.” “Only 17?” asked the Judge, eyeing t voung culprit. “Yes, sir,”” said the boy. ““Ever been arrested before™ asked the | Judge. “Oh, no, sir,” quavered the youth. Judge Mogan called up Detective Freel. “See if you can find any record of this fellow,” he said. Freel went to | the identification bureau and returned | in & few minutes with a copy of the “Detective,” wherein are published the | photographs of criminals taken all over | the country. There, large as life, was | the bright-eyed angel boy, who never | had been arrested before. He really , couldn’t recognize his own picture, | which was taken in St. Louis February | 23, 1903. Still it was a gtriking likeness. The fact of his arrest had likewise es- | caped him, although he admitted he | had been taken into qustody in New | Orleans about that time. “Dangerous and suspicious charac- ter,” read the Judge, 19 years old. Now you're 17. You seem to have backed down some in the betting. I think myself you are about 22 and a penitentiary is a good place for you. T'll hold you over to the Superior Court when your case comes up again.” ‘William McNamara lied himself into jail yesterday before Judge Mogan. He was accused of stealing a mop from a grotery on May street. The Judge was inclined to let him go, as the arti- cle was of small value and had been recovered. “I suppose you were a Jittle full when you took this mop,” said the Judge, “‘and didn’t realize what you were doing.” “I wasn't full,” said the defendant and 1 didn’t steal that mop. 1 bought it from a man for 15 cents.” The Judge sat up and began to take “A man who is a liar as well as a thief deserves punizhment,” he said. “I'll find you guilty of petty lar- ceny and sentence you to-morrow.” Edward Richards, who shot and killed Joseph Martini, a saloon-keéper on Pacific street early Wednesday was formally accused of the crime of murder before Judge Mogan yesterday. The complaint was sworn to by Della Martini, wife of the mur- dered man. She is a remarkably pretty woman. Under the ordeal of making the charge she broke down completely and the procedure had to be delayed | fifteen minutes while she was removed to the Judge's chambers to regain her composure. .villiam, H. Atkins, who | killed Muldoon McDonald, the colored prize fighter, also appeared before Judge Mogan and his preliminary hear- ing was set for January 11. shot and Before Judge Conlan Francisco Rossi and Giovanni Fossa, accuseéd of the murder of Vincenzo Lavagnino, were arraigned and their hearings continued | for one week. C. J. Janssen, who was arrested last November on two echarges of passing fictitious checks, was released by Judge Conlan yesterday. He has settled the obligations and has. been in jail ever since his arrest. The Judge thought he had been sufficiently punished. Janssen's crimes were committed in a spirit of good fellowship. He was tread- ing the primrose path and ran short f n..ney one night while on a spree and took an unlawful method of re- plenishing his purse. He s said to have prominent relatives in the State and to be perfectly reliable when not drinking. James Delury and his wife, Laura, were convicted of cruelty to children in Judge Conlan’s court vesterday. The husband was sentenced to six months in the County Jail and the wife will be sentenced to-day. Her sentence will not be so heavy as that of her husband, as cxtenuating circumstances were shown in her case. The couple were found by Officer. McMurray of the Society for the Pre- vention 8f Cruelty to Children living in a filthy basement on Howard street with four children, the eldest of whom was 7 years. The children were mm an almost incredible state of filth and wretchedness. How they survived the neglect was a miracle. The father and mother were almost continually drunk. Rev. Father Crowley secured the cus- tody of one of the children and placed it in a comfortable home. The society cared for the other three little ones. 2 < | GREAT ACTIVITY MARKS MOVEMENTS AT PRESIDIO | Cavalry, Artillers and Infantry Are All Being Put Through Complete and Exhaustive Drills. Not since the days of the Spanish- American War has the Presidio pre- | sented so animated and lively an ap- | pearance as now. Everything is life and action. | Every company and every troop is ;bemg drilled to the utmost limit. If the news of war rumors from Japan |and Panama are to be credited then | undoubtedly this great activity is ac- counted for. Uncle Sam is on the alert this time, and if there is to be a mix- up he is now preparing for any qu every emergency. The Tenth Infantry is daily drilling at 7:30 a. m. The third squadron of the Ninth Cavalry is now drilling every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 a. m., and on the intermediate days special drills of the individ@al troops are being held. The signal corps is working every afternoon on the grounds just at the entrance to the post. The Twenty-fifth Company Coast Artillery was at work all yesterday afternoon firing No. 2 mortars from Battery Stotsenburg. It showed fine marksmanship. The transports Sherman, Buford and Crook are now almost ready for sea, and in_twenty-four hours if necessary could be fully manned and ready to set sail. For what point these three transports are intended is not made known at headquarters, but if rumors be true it is probably that the Japan coast may be the objective point. —_— * Chinese in Contempt. Lee C. Fook was arrested yesterday on a bench warrant issued by United States Court Commissioner Heacock, charging him with contempt of court in having failed to appear and produce certain Chinese certificates of registra- tion that had been left with him in pawn by other Chinese who had been required to produce their certificates in court. Lee will' be examined at 10 o’clock this morning. One of the cer- tificates was found in his room yester- daay. 2 4 Indictment Dismissed. On motion of the Upited States Dis- trict Attorney in the United States District Court yesterday a nolle pros- equi was entered dismissing the indiet- ment charging Louis E. Campbell with mailing an obscene letter. It was not believed by the prosecution that the evidence would warrant & convic- #inm ‘from $1000 to REAL ESTATE AGENT IS ACCUSED OF DUPLICITY Charles J. Haars Arrested for Em- bezzlement in Retaining Money He Should Have Paid. Charles J. Haars, a real estate agent, was arrested at his residence, 1164 O'Farrell street, vesterday af- ternoon by Detectives Bunner and Freel on a warrant charging him with felony embezzlement. He was locked up in the City Prison. The complaining witness is Mrs. Antonio Lyons, 32 Second street, who alleges that she purchased the lodg- iug-bhouse where she is living from Haars on July 8 for $950, on his statement that it was free of nay in- Sl cumbrance. Haars acted as agent for Mrs. Margaret Clouston. A few days ago Mrs. Lyons was notified of the fact that there was a n.ortgage of $700 on the lodging- house and that it would be foreclosed unless redeemed. She saw Mrs, Clouston,. who informed her that Haars knew of the mortgage and had given her $250, promising to pay off theo mortgage with the remaining 700. % Haars at the time of the sale was doing business at 850 Market street under the name of the Donald In- vestment Company. After his arrest he said he would get his lawyer to straighten things out. ————— Justice’s Fight Is Submitted. The question whether Isadore Gold- en, Governor- Pardee’s appointee as Justice of the Peace, or Walter E. Dorn, the appointee of the Board of Supervisors, or Walter Gallagher, the appointee of Mayor Sehmitz, is entitled to the office made vacant by the elec- tion of Justice of the Peace Percy V. Long to.the office of City Attorney is now in the hands of Judge Murasky. After an argument yesterday by the atto yl for Dorn and Golden on a moti to dissolve the injunction re- :tnlnlng Golden from interfering with Dorn in his possession of the office, Judge Murasky, who issued the injunc- tion, took the matter under submission. —_————— Howard Laws Released. Howard Laws, a witness for the prosecution in the case of the!United States vs. Thomas Davis, accused of an outrage upon Mrs. A. H. Ames on the high seas, appeared before United States District Judge de Haven yester- day afternoon in answer to a writ of hal corpus. His bail was reduced and he furnished bonds for the latter sum and was re- leased. He been detained as a witness since November 9, Drill ihto = Gold BricKs and examine the Shavings. CUWEY R T T e Whepever you read the advertisements of BREAKFAST FOODS announcing “Predigested” “BrainFeod” “Starches turned to Grape Sugar” “Made of entire Wheat and Ba.lrley,” etc., etc., you canapply the following . wWFACTS.. Seven years ago the original ready-cooked, predigested Grape-Nuts Food was discovered and placed before the people. v Its early history shows that the inventor, after recovery from a long attack of nervous prostration and a well-nigh fatal attack of appendicitis, was brought to realize the urgent neces- sity for a predigested cereal food that the system could absorb, and that would furnish the body with energy and also rebuild the Brain and Nerve Centers. That was the | PROBLEM With years of training at his back, perhaps no. man was equipped to solve that problem. He knew that weak intestinal digestion meant either leave off eating any starchy foods, Potatoes, Wheat, Qats, Bread, Cakes anc Puddings, or suffer distress and disease. He knew that food energy. He also knew that delicate particles of Phosphate of Potash assimilate with Albumen in the food and go to build the gray mat- ter in the Brain and Nerve Centers, so the experiments began and extended over a period of about 2 years, resulting in the now world-famous food Grape-Nuts. Special parts of the Wheat and Barley are selected and s> treated by moisture, heat and time as to change the starch into sugar, which can be seen exuding from every granule of Grape- Nuts. This form of predigested starch (now sugar) is quickly taken up by the blood and deposited in the muscles and tissues, stored and ready for use when energy is demanded. better . some starchy is necessary to supply Then the little particles (microscopic) of Phosphate of Potash are there as well, and with the Albumen of food, surely, steadily and perfectly do their work in rebuilding and making new the worn-down Brain and Nerve Centers. . That is the reason why people who know these facts and have proven them use Grape-Nuts. Truly “There’s a Reason.” Persons who have been built back to strong, sturdy men and women by adopting scientifically made food, particularly when de- licious to the taste, are not quick to forget it. E: A great original success is always a bid for imitators, but Grape-Nuts was so hard to copy that for the first five years but feeble attempts were made by any one to imitate either the food or the announcements of its merit. However, about 2 years ago a tremendous rush was made to get into the ready-cooked food business. It was like a stampede to the gold diggings. Several hundred factories were built and the hopes of stockholders ran high. Had these money-seeking followers gone through the davs, weeks and years of hard experience, in sickness, investigation, study and experiment that fitted the old originator to bring forth from his food laboratory a genuine article, intended ‘or a purpose, and so skillfully and scientifically blended and made that it would the ‘Do what it was intended to do!! Or were they forced from lack of early training to “grind” up- fomething and “advertise! that will make it go?” : The first vear of the life of these imitators they did not assume that their foods were “pre- digested” or were “brain” foods, but when for some unexplained reason the demand did not come up to expectation, they concluded perhaps it might be becduse they were not advertised as “predigested brain foods.” So, without any change in the articles, and with most amazing effrontery, the makers of some have now suddenly begun to talk “Brain Food,” “Predigested,” etc., etc., copying the an- nouncement of Grape-Nuts that the public have been familiar -with for seven vears past. When you read our words and phrases, “Predigested,” ‘“Made from entire Wheat Barley,” “A Food for Brain and Nerve Centers,” etc., etc., fitted to some breakfast food, may know these claims have been cribbed from the original, and are pretenses. A genuine originator must have as his actuating motive, honesty of purpose. Imitators have but one object, MONEY, and that to be gained from the thought work of others. and vou N and There is but one and only one gen= uine predigested Brain Food and that is Grape-Nuts Look for the little baok “The Road to Wellwlle in each package.
